Description
Albid 200mg Syrup is an effective treatment for parasitic worm infections in children. It works by inhibiting the worms from absorbing essential nutrients from the body, leading to a depletion of their energy and ultimately causing their death. The dead worms are then expelled from the body through the stool.
Salt Composition:
Albendazole (200 mg).
How to Use:
Administer the syrup as directed by your child’s doctor. It should be taken orally, preferably with a fat-containing food like milk to enhance absorption. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking the medicine, administer the same dose again. Treatment duration varies based on the type of worm infection, with most cases requiring a single dose. In certain infections, the dose may need to be repeated after two weeks or given over several days to weeks. Always follow the prescribed duration to avoid re-infection.
Uses/Benefits:
Albid 200mg Syrup is used for the treatment of parasitic worm infections in children. It works by killing the parasites and preventing their further growth, effectively treating various parasitic infections. This medicine usually provides rapid relief, but it is important to continue the treatment for the full prescribed duration to ensure complete elimination of the parasites and prevent resistance.
